    This video made me cry. I'm 25 now started training a year ago just doing at home workouts to build strength and flexibility. I still have a loooong way to go if I want to train for gymnastics but watching this video gave me such motivation so thank you. All the stuff you said is so true exactly what I was thinking. I wish I would've had the ability to start when I was a kid, but Im just trying to tell myself its never too late.

    I’m 17 years old but they told me I was too old and didn’t let me in the gymnastics team.... they said the only thing I could do is take tumbling classes, which I’m doing now but I don’t think it’s fair because it’s been a dream to do this since the age of 14!!

Honestly the fear is so not worth giving it a try no matter what. After my first session I was like why was I even scared? The people are likeminded and supportive in this sport and they understand where you come from no matter the age. This guy says it right from the get go.

    I started gymnastics at 32, and now I'm 35. Might older people get results few times slower than kids but it doesn't matter. Older people do it for fun and for good physics. After 5 years of practice at any age results can be impressive.

    • @phatcat3705
      @phatcat3705 6 місяців тому

      That gives me hope. I'm your age now and begged my parents when I was a kid to sign me up for gymnastics but they said no and signed me up for piano lessons, instead, which was a huge disappointment. By the time I could decide on my own, I was too old to start, since my area doesn't let you take gymnastics classes as a furst-timer after a certain age. The most they have to offer for older people are tumbling classes for cheerleaders, which would've been almost as good, only, now, the age range is still much too young for me at teen age. I don't care that I'm too old now to ever be good enough to compete in gymnastics or turn pro. I just want to do it because I've always thought it was the coolest sport ever. Hoping for a "senior" gymnastics class to come to my area very soon.

    I am 23 and I started to practice very basic movements like handstand , cartwheel and I supported it with flexibility exercises. It has been a year, and I definitely got much stronger and was easily able to the basics. I was sure of myself that I could develop myself further without any problems, until i started to have sciatic pain few months ago. It seems like, I stretched my lower back too much. I am not sure , if my body will able to do advanced movements in the future, probably not. But either way I still continue to try and experiment my limits ! Since the beginning of exercising , gmynastics definitely increase my life quality. So I think it's a long way and it's worth to have fun along the way.

It got so bad that i quit at the age of 12. I actually had the potential to go compete at regional competitions but just because of vault i could not pursuit my dreams. Im 21 now, faught obesity in my teen years and lost the weight again. Im ready to go back now to pursuit my dreams. I may be too old to actually go somewhere but for me, it’s worth it cuz i feel like i belong in the gym! I miss it so much.

    Many people hear they're too old to learn an activity simply because the school where they asked was "serious" and only looking to *use them* to win competitions and not to help them self-improve. Winning competitions brings in PR and money. It doesn't mean you're too old to start, age has *nothing* to do with it. What these schools are really saying is most people competing in your age category are already experienced, therefore, your odds of winning a competition are low. It happened to me when I first picked up dancing, rock climbing, motorcycle racing, acrobatics, archery and jujitsu. Most schools didn't want to take me in and from those that did I've been usually kicked out of for not wanting to compete after they've "put so much effort into me". I had to look for less known places that didn't care to compete. These smaller schools where usually farther away from city centres because the rent was lower. The equipment was old and used. Usually there were no showers. Locker rooms had no locks. Nothing of it mattered because people teaching there were so much more passionate about what they did. Since my teens to up to early 30s I was working a lot - not an active person. Starting at 32 and 117 kg going from sitting on my ass all day long doing next to nothing at 35 and 88 kg I'm front flipping over people at work parties and I got there by simply having fun in the right places. I still haven't been in a single competition. Don't let people tell you what you're too old for.

      There are exceptions. But nobody over 24 should be starting proper gymnastics. That's a soft upper limit. Ideally as he said it should be 10+ years earlier. Whenever you can get going to get the right amount of mobility and strength. You can improve at any age; but you need a foundation and ask for injury if you've not had decades of good conditioning or reasonably good fitness/health.
      Never start any arduous sport or activity after the age of around 38. You're just asking for damage and a miserable recovery. At best.

  • @bearvillebear1468
    @bearvillebear1468 Рік тому +1

    Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
    Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die".
    BUT, mercy said "I dont want to give them what they deserve. I don't want them to be cut off from Me. I love them despite all they have done/will do against Me. I want to give My children another chance. I want them to come home and live in My love again".
    And love said "Jesus, God's Son, came down as a Man, our representative, suffering every temptation, pain and struggle we have ever faced, yet without sin. He took all our sins (past/present/ even future) to the cross and then crucified EVERY ONE on our behalf. Justice was paid on the cross so that we can be free from Hell's punishment, experience Gods mercy of forgiveness of sin and live in His love. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (turn away from our sin and pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life.
    He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
    He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through Him (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to obey His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and ask Him to help us in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, or struggling or doubtful, simply be honest and tell Him that. He is not intimidated by ANY sin or struggle you are facing. ANY. He hears and will answer. If we pray for Him to come in, regardless of the condition, then He will.
    NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER.
    If you have any questions let me know
    Xx
